| 2-Bromoethyl ethyl ether Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | clear colorless to brown liquid | Uses | 2-Bromoethyl ethyl ether is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff fields. | General Description | A colorless liquid. Flash point 5°F. Vapors are heavier than air. | Air & Water Reactions | Highly flammable. Soluble in water and slightly denser than water. | Reactivity Profile | Ethers, such as 2-Bromoethyl ethyl ether, can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert. | Health Hazard | May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. | Fire Hazard | HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. |
